Control Your Wedge Distance for Better Finesse Shots
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Monitor the space between your body and the club for improved contact
- Feel how to maintain a consistent radius during your wedge swings
- Identify and correct excessive arm extension that leads to fat shots
In this video, you'll learn how to maintain proper distance between your body and club during finesse wedge shots, which is crucial for consistent contact and control. This simple drill using a bootleg Sami will help you develop better body pivot and radius awareness.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.120
This is the arc width training with the bootleg Sami, so I've taken my little
2
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:05.440
bootleg Sami
3
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:12.240
and instead of attaching the rubber band, like you see, I have a T and a paper
4
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:12.960
clip that
5
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:18.490
have been duct taped together, kind of forming an object like this, and now I'm
6
00:00:18.490 --> 00:00:19.200
going to feed
7
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:23.860
it through the badge attachment component of my bootleg Sami. I'm going to take
8
00:00:23.860 --> 00:00:24.640
the T
9
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:31.140
and stick it in the end of the club. And now I have some feedback as to how
10
00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:34.160
much space I have
11
00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:38.200
between right around belly button or a little bit above belly button, kind of
12
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:39.120
between belly button
13
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:44.740
and the bottom of my sternum. So the space between my body and club, and I like
14
00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:47.040
to get this in fairly
15
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.650
close and tight, so it's got a little bit of tension, so I can't pull too far
16
00:00:50.650 --> 00:00:51.200
away.
17
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.880
I like to use this, especially with my short game students, where students are
18
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:57.520
working on their
19
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:03.090
finesse wedges, and help them use this to monitor if the club is staying pretty
20
00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:04.560
much the same distance
21
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:11.840
away from their body, because a lot of golfers are going to struggle if they
22
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.040
are having their arms
23
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:17.360
extend away from their body too much on wedges. On wedges, you want to have a
24
00:01:17.360 --> 00:01:18.080
little bit more
25
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:22.330
of this cast pattern, so on the way through, you're going to tend to keep a
26
00:01:22.330 --> 00:01:23.440
much more consistent
27
00:01:23.440 --> 00:01:35.470
radius here. So in practice, it allows the feeling of the body controlling the
28
00:01:35.470 --> 00:01:35.760
pivot,
29
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:42.390
and it allows the feeling of the radius staying pre-consistent and pretty
30
00:01:42.390 --> 00:01:44.640
uniform on the way through.
31
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.750
So if you struggle with getting too much tilt behind the ball and those arms
32
00:01:49.750 --> 00:01:50.480
trying to save
33
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.360
you from hitting it fat because they're extending, the little bootleg Sami
34
00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:56.560
trainer will be very
35
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:00.320
helpful for you feeling the distance between yourself and the club. Ultimately,
36
00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:00.720
that will
37
00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:04.660
reinforce how your axis tilt and your pivot is powering the swing, and
38
00:02:04.660 --> 00:02:06.080
ultimately, that combined
39
00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:10.640
with a good release will give you some sevy-like touch around the greens.
